Before the Magic took the Miami Heat on Wednesday, Mosley brushed off the chatter between him and Banchero in the wake of the team's ongoing struggles.
"Yeah, I don’t really have reactions to that," he said, via Jason Beede of The Orlando Sentinel. "I think that’s outside opinion which is the case and everybody’s fair to have their opinion on that. I think what me and Paolo have is a constant level of competitivness that wants to find a way to get a win.
"No one’s happy when you’re on a losing streak. And there shouldn’t be happiness on a losing streak. And so, I don’t give too much to those vs. what’s going on in our locker room as our guys have that edge that wants to find a way to get a win.”
ESPN's Tim MacMahon recently revealed that the league observes that both Mosley Banchero “might not be seeing eye-to-eye.”
Currently eighth in the East, the Magic (23-22) are shockingly struggling with a four-game losing skid entering the road matchup against the Heat.
Mosley has been the team's head coach since 2021, leading the Magic to the NBA Playoffs in 2024 and 2025.
